Carl is a divorced man, who is spending the night before Halloween alone because his daughter decided to go to a party instead. But when shopping he sees a rabbit costume, so decides to crash the party and check up on her. This is an extended version of my earlier story "Harvey". Most of the story is the same, but the ending is different. In short, it is no longer a "Dark Tale" in the same way as I gave it a happier ending.
Two girls endure middle school and high school. Their peers give them grief over their looks: they are two red heads in an ocean of black hair. One has no mother, the other's mother is a punitive monster. Sometimes, your hopes for the future depend on that one friend who can understand you and be your rock in the face of cruelty, even violence. This is a short story, a quick read.
A gardener works naked at a large garden. A new employee approaches her and asked why and what would happen should he choose to use her. She takes the time to talk with him about the flower and the bee.
A Tony and Nancy Story (2) A dark and stormy night, candles buring while the winds howl, a cuddly girl to share the tub with, a nice way to spend the evening, right?
Of course there would be a knock at the door..
The third in the Tony and Nancy series.
